## 🎮 How It Works

### Daily Rewards Flow
1. Player opens game → Calls `/rewards/daily/{synergyId}`
2. Server checks if reward available today
3. If available → Player claims via `/rewards/daily/{synergyId}/claim`
4. Gold & Cash added to account immediately
5. Streak counter incremented
6. Next reward available in 24 hours

### Time Trial Flow
1. Game fetches active events → `/rewards/timetrials`
2. Player completes race with recorded time
3. Time submitted → `/rewards/timetrials/{id}/submit`
4. Server checks if beat target time
5. Rewards granted based on performance:
   - **Beat target**: Full gold + cash reward
   - **Didn't beat**: Half cash (participation reward)

### Gold Purchase Flow
1. Player opens store → Views gold packages (catalog)
2. Player "purchases" gold → `/rewards/gold/purchase`
3. Server adds gold to account **for FREE**
4. Transaction logged in purchase history
5. Instant delivery - no payment processing
